We don't have cable and if there was a channel I would buy ala carte, it would be HBO. I wished they'd make it possible for people like us that even though we could afford to get cable, we don't watch enough of it to pay for it. I'd rather spend the 100 bucks a month elsewhere.

Thanks so much.

of helping other people becoming smart, hence the non ala carte mode of mass media. They force people to pay for Texas style, non science, edumunducation, because it helps to fund the idiocracy needed to keep our overlords in power.

No way is Bill Maher that incredibly deluded - if he truly believes that those SCOTUS conservatives were "naive" about what would happen, I'll eat my hat. That's patently ridiculous. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and were vastly unconcerned about the guaranteed troubles to come. These decisions come straight out of the billionaire's book club selection, aka: plutocratic extremist dickheads' dreambook/wishlist. I have ZERO doubt these decisions, which seem to magically be dictated from the same addlepated miasma of extremist RW propaganda that declares up is down, right is left, and black is white and BENGHAZI!!!!!! with every other breath, will continue to erode everything that ever existed in this country as decent or good until we get every black-hearted bastard one of them out the Supreme Court and every other seat of power in this country. There is nothing "naive" or deluded about what they continue to do to this country. They are traitors, plain and simple, and should be called out as such every single day.

this comment gets a 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999.99.

I'm only sorry that Tar and Feathers are not still in vogue because it would be a proper and justified costume for Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Scalia, and Kennedy as they road the rail to a private prison colony in some third world country.

Oh, almost forgot, we should also dig up Rehnquist and let him ride along so they could sit in a small seedy prison cell and discuss their dead, putrid, greedy conservative philosophy

I've met some. They're mostly of a libertarian type and they act like getting rid of "government" will make everything rainbows, bunnies and unicorns.

This is totally wrong! It wasn't John Belushi but Otter in Animal House who said "you fucked up, you trusted us!"

What a gem. "....they cry at fireworks."
